The least of these, a fact story

Lincoln Steffens

0/5 ( ratings)

DEDICATION.

THIS little book is made

for bad people : sinners

who know that they sin.

And it is meant, not to correct

but to comfort them; as they

understood from the start, they

and their friends; and no one else

apparently. Everybody s Mag
azine published the story original
ly, in the January number, 1909,
and you can see, from the first line
to the last, that I thought every
body would rejoice with me over

the very personal good news I
was reporting. And many letters
came, and some of them showed
an understanding that was pro
found. But others asked to
know more.

Most of these were from good
men and women who said that
they couldn t see the good in my
good news. Had they failed to
find the news in it, I should not
have been so instructed, since
the gospel of " the least of these "
was just about 1909 years old
when I reported this example
of it. ...
